Youngest has not been herself for quite a while, and without going into detail, it has emerged that she has been suffering at the hand of two bullies at School. It transpires that these two little darlings have been saying things like “Your Mum and Dad abuse you”. We live in a world where abuse is on every journalist, politician and commentator’s lips, and it is heard virtually every day. I shall give the two boys the benefit of the doubt, in that they probably just used the words without thinking of the connotations. They are only ten after all. I was also impressed with the way the School dealt with the situation, and how swiftly action was taken. Youngest is now somewhere back to her old self, and all was well again...well up until Friday when she was subjected to what can only be described as a minor assault by another girl. This happened at an after school club which was being supervised by two teachers. I spoke to one of them today, and was struck by several things. Firstly how I felt liek I was actually speaking to a school child. She had the same defensive tone as Vicky Pollard. I was actually phoning to advise her what we had been told, and to let her know about the previous bullying. She instantly went on the defensive, and seemed to be able to act as Judge and Jury over an incident that she had not witnessed. I do, I suppose, have to place my trust in her, in that she has obviously qualified to do the job, and I realise that this is not easy, but I have a sense of unease about her. Perhaps I am just being a snob....I am a Londoner, but I expect my Teachers not to speak in a manner that can only be described as “Fluent Chav”. I shall update the blog with progress. The little darling responsible for the assault is on holiday for a week, which is something I thought was frowned upon by the authorities.
